Pics from last weekends #SDHIST #boardgame convention in San Diego.
Although I was there as part of the #WargameBootcamp I did get to play test an upcoming game for Revolution Games. This was Tankschlacht on the #WW1 battle of Cambrai in November 1917. I played the British side, of course. Half of my tanks broke down by the end of the first day but I had unleashed the cavalry who were in the vanguard by day 2!
To green fields beyond!

The #WargameBootcamp will be at #Pacificon Game eXpo in Santa Clara, CA over the Labor Day weekend. The con has all types of #tabletop and RPG gaming.

If there is a historically themed #boardgame that you want to learn then post it there or check out some of the games we plan on bringing. We aim to please.
The Hunt #boardgame at #SDHist
It's a sub-hour 2-player cat and mouse game on the Graf Spee surface raider early in WW2. Think of being sneaky with hidden movement while the plucky Royal Navy tries to corner the dastardly hun.
It was nice to meet the #boardgames designers Matthias and Engin. Yeah, I did have a rules question or two. They were happy to help. They even signed my game box. I taught the game every day of the con at the #WargameBootcamp

@zeotter ran A Most Fearful Sacrifice as a participation game across the con. Folks could learn while playing for as long as they wanted. The activation system allowed folks to play small chunks of the game at a time.
Karl taught Prelude to Rebellion by #CompassGames on Saturday.
He also taught Strike Counterstrike (GTS series) by MMP on Sunday.
Saturday at the #WargameBootcamp #PacificonGameeXpo consisted on me teaching Reluctant Enemies #boardgame
This is one of the smaller, in size and scale, games in the OCS series by #MultimanPublishing
Naty had specifically requested that game. It was on his #ShelfOfShame and wanted to get started on OCS.
As a learning game the goal was to concentrate the key mechanics of modes, supply, and combat.
Many thanks to Art Howe for providing his wide OCS experience.
The #WargameBootcamp will soon be on the road again to #PacificonGameeXpo 2023 in Santa Clara, CA. This will be the 10th year we will teach historical #boardgames to all types of #tabletop games.
We teach the game. You have fun. No experience required.
